FACT(s) (Environment):

FACT(s) (Environment):
MS-DOS
FACT(s) (Environment):
OS/2
SYMPTOM(s):
PROGRESS cannot establish a network connection through NETBIOS or SPX.
** Server <servername> unavailable. (733)
CAUSE:
On these platforms, the default network protocol (-N) is NETBIOS. PROGRESS error 733 is issued if PROGRESS is unsuccessful in establishing a network connection through NETBIOS or SPX.
Many PROGRESS clients on PC platforms aren't capable of establishing self-service connections to database servers. If a database connection is requested from those clients, even if you don't supply any network parameter (-N, -S or -H), PROGRESS will still attempt to establish a NETBIOS connection, as NETBIOS is the default protocol.
PROGRESS clients that can establish self-service connections are: Win32 (PROWIN32.EXE), V6 OS/2, UNIX and VMS clients. Other clients aren't capable of establishing those self-serving connections and will default to a NETBIOS connection even if a self-service connection syntax is specified (CONNECT databasename or databasefullpath is a self-serving connection syntax).
If you are getting error 733, and you either wanted to establish a TCP connection or a single-user connection, this means that you either forgot the -N or -1 parameter.
FIX:
Did you really intend to establish a NETBIOS or SPX connection ?
If not, please review your connection parameters.
If you intended to establish a TCP connection, make sure that a -N TCP
is specified in the correct place.
If you intended to establish a single-user connection, make sure that
a -1 parameter is specified in the correct place.
